Nepali voice over services

Regularly, and it is a bigger part of our Nepali work than people expect. Gurkha regiments have served in the British Army for over two centuries, and after the 2009 settlement-rights change, substantial Nepali-speaking communities consolidated around the garrison towns — Aldershot and Farnborough particularly, plus Folkestone, Ashford and Plymouth. Councils, NHS trusts and charities commission Nepali for their own residents.

A different register, yes. The British Nepali-speaking population skews older — veterans and their spouses — which is the group least well reached by English-only information. That argues for a slower, warmer, clearer read and for audio rather than printed material. Tell us it is a UK community brief and we direct accordingly.

No. Nepali and Hindi share the Devanagari script and a fair amount of vocabulary, which is where the assumption comes from, but Nepali is the language of a different country with its own standard and a Nepali audience hears a Hindi reader straight away. We cast native Nepali speakers.

Yes, with native Nepali linguists writing from your source rather than from a Hindi version. For NGO and public-health programmes we would also suggest agreeing terminology up front, since consistency across a whole set of materials matters more than in one-off commercial work.

Usually not much. Nepali is co-official in Sikkim and widely spoken around Darjeeling, and standard Nepali serves all of them. If your content is tied to a particular programme or region, tell us and we will take it into account when we shortlist.

Devanagari, ideally. Romanised Nepali leaves pronunciation and stress open to interpretation, and it tends to invite Hindi-influenced readings of ambiguous words. If you only have a romanised version, send it and we will have a native linguist prepare a clean script before the session.

Plain, warm and unhurried, particularly for the UK community audience. Much Nepali work is material people need to understand and act on rather than be impressed by, so we direct for clarity over polish and will flag a script pitched more formally than its audience needs.

NGO and development communications, disaster-preparedness and public-health campaigns, UK council and NHS community information, eLearning, remittance and financial content, corporate video, documentary narration, and broadcast and diaspora media.

Most short Nepali projects are delivered within 24 to 48 hours; longer or multi-voice work is scheduled with your dedicated project manager, who confirms a firm date up front.

Less than people expect: the script, or the draft of it, its total running time or word count, where the recording will be used, and the date you need it by. If the script is not signed off yet, send the draft anyway — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
